Following the successful launch of the Steam Workshop for ROME II, we are pleased to release version one of the Assembly Kit for ROME II.The Assembly Kit is currently in Beta, and its feature-set will expand over time. If you have any questions or find any bugs to report, please visit the official forums here: https://forums.totalwar.com/forumdisplay.php/181-Total-War-ROME-II-Game-Mods

The Assembly Kit is essentially a collection of tools and example data files that will help modders create bigger and better mods. It contains:

• TWeak with the following two plugins

  • Variant Editor – for editing the look of characters, units and ships
• BOB – for processing data including:
  • Textures
  • Models
  • Animations
  • Database tables
  • Group formations
  • Campaign starting positions
  • Packing files into mod pack
• Exporters
  • 3ds max for models
  • Motion Builder for animations
  • Maya for animations
• Data
  • Example data for each supported data type
  • The complete database backend

These tools will allow for the creation of mods that can then be uploaded to the Steam Workshop via the ROME II root folder (SteamsteamappscommonTotal War Rome IIassembly_kit).

You can find instructions for this here:

This Beta release is designed to allow for the tools and processes to be tested by modders through usage, and to make sure there are no issues. We’ll post official documentation over the next few days and weeks, which will ultimately cover all areas of the Assembly Kit.

Known Issue [as of 16/01/2014]:

If the user launches the Assembly Kit through the Tools section of Steam it will generate a file called steam_appid.txt in; C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonTotal War Rome IIassembly_kitbinaries

If the user then attempts to process a campaign start_pos through BOB it will NOT generate the start_pos.esf file because Rome2 will crash before it is able to start the process.

There is a work around – if the user manually deletes the file steam_appid.txt from the above directory it will work correctly, however if they launch via the Tools menu in Steam the file will be re-generated. This will not harm or affect the users game in any way.

Legendary Lords or LLs are powerful individuals from Warhammer Fantasy lore. In Total War: Warhammer and its sequels, they are Lords (a type of character unit) who are playable in the campaign, multiplayer and custom battles. Each campaign must be started with the player choosing a legendary lord + faction.

Most legendary lords lead their own faction that is unique to them. However in a few cases, multiple legendary lords may share the same faction. This is explained in detail below.

During a campaign, players can also recruit other legendary lords for their race through diplomacy, completing certain objectives or other means.

Note there is also unique lords, which are different to legendary lords.

• 6Total War: Warhammer II Legendary Lords

How Legendary Lords work[edit | edit source]

Recruiting legendary lords:

• In campaign, only one of each Legendary Lord can be recruited at a time - they are unique. For instance, there can't be two of Karl Franz on the campaign map.
• When starting a campaign, players pick a faction and then a Legendary Lord to begin with.
• Some factions have multiple legendary lords available.
  • In this case, the player must pick one to start the campaign with and then must complete certain objectives to 'unlock' his/her faction's other legendary lords for recruitment.
• If a legendary lord belongs to a different faction (of the same race), the player may instead confederate that faction to gain access to the legendary lord.

Skills, abilities and effects:[edit | edit source]

• Beyond being powerful units in battle, they have access to unique Legendary items, which are especially powerful and cannot be lost in campaign battles.
  • See Total War: Warhammer items#Legendary items and Total War: Warhammer II items#Legendary items.
• Each one has a unique skill tree with personalised skills and abilities.
• Each LL will start the campaign with additional units in their army which are higher tier. For instance Tyrion begins with a Silver Helms (Shields), Ithilmar Chariot and White Lions of Chrace.
• Each LL has their own special effects which apply if they are chosen to start the campaign. These effects may be specific to themselves, their army, or their entire faction.

Character traits:[edit | edit source]

• Legendary lords may have special unique character traits given to them.
• Defeating a Legendary Lord in Total War: Warhammer II will grant a special trait to the lord that does it. Each LL grants a different trait.
• See Legendary Lord character traits for more info.

Other info:[edit | edit source]

• During a campaign, when engaging in diplomacy with a playable faction, that faction will have a Legendary Lord representing them as the faction leader.
• Some legendary lords require paid DLC to play as, others may be free but require the player to download them from Steam manually.
• Legendary Lords will have special quest missions, which often culminate in a set piece battle and the lord gaining a legendary item.
• Legendary Lords cannot permanently die (only be temporarily wounded) unless their entire faction is wiped out.
